Smart Compose for Live Chat Agent

Sammanfattning: In the digital business environment, customer service communication has grown up to become a labor- intensive task. In consideration of high labor costs, automatic customer service could be such a good alternative for many companies. However, communication with customers can not be easily automated. Staffs of customer service always need task-specific knowledge and information, which is incapable for automated systems to reply. Therefore, industries with frequent communication to consumers need a semiauto completion system, to cut manpower cost. In this thesis project, I utilized the GPT2 model, which was pre-trained by OpenAI, and finetuned it on MultiWOZ dataset in unsupervised way to train a full-fledged and task-oriented language model. On the basis of this auto-regressive language model, I designed and deployed an auto-completion system that timely predicts words or sentences which users may input in the next moment and provides quick completing suggestions for subsequent dialogue. After that, I evaluated the performance of the language model and practicability of the auto-completion system, and furthermore proposed a possible optimization framework to balance the system’s endogenous contradictions.
